Is Insurance Required for Vehicle Inspection?
2 Answers
Vehicle inspection requires insurance. Without insurance, the inspection cannot proceed. A valid compulsory traffic insurance policy is necessary for the inspection. The inspection must be conducted within the insurance validity period: When the vehicle owner undergoes the annual inspection, the compulsory traffic insurance must be valid. If the insurance has expired or is invalid, the owner must purchase new insurance and complete the inspection procedures within the effective period. Documents required for vehicle inspection at the DMV: Fill out the "Motor Vehicle Inspection Record Form", provide the vehicle identification number rubbing paper, driving license, insurance policy; self-repaired vehicles or those repaired by a repair shop need to have the inspection form stamped. Light gasoline vehicles must provide a tail gas test report that meets the standards using the steady-state condition method.
I've been driving in my hometown for over a decade, and vehicle inspection always requires insurance proof, especially the compulsory traffic insurance. It's mandatory by law, or the inspection station will turn you away. Once, my neighbor forgot and went for inspection right after his insurance expired, ending up with wasted effort and a hefty fine. My advice is to check your insurance validity before inspection, or renew it a few days before expiration. Keep a copy ready, and store the original safely at home. Also, bring your vehicle license and ID card to ensure a smooth process. Don't forget to regularly check your insurance expiry date – good habits save you from trouble.
